Ends of the earth

As opposed to the end of the earth. Many a times people will react in vigor trying to make a point in saying we will go to the ends of the earth to find so and so or identify a cause of some issue or cure a disease. I was wondering why Google had not put some effort into once and for all (of humanity) finding these so called ends and tying them in a bow. Too many loose ends don't you think? That way when anyone dramatizes again we just tell them to use a GPS and voila. You are at the ends before getting to your wits end. For that matter we the people should also decide where these so called Wits Ends are so that we know to avoid them. Getting there is not going to help so why go there? If you are religious you are thinking that perhaps the end is near. I say it is. I just proved it. Google will soon have it right on your dashboard and all you have to do is ask for it. You will have found it. Destination - 1100 miles away. Or some such. Plenty of rest areas along the way. After all enjoy the journey - its not all in the end. You paid for the movie - watch it- the end will come sooner or later. That is the end all be all of it all. I think such positive thoughts will serve us well before you know - well - like we see the end of the earth!

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...

Cost of entrepreneurship

Last night I attended a guest lecture on the subject of disruptive technology and entrepreneurship.  Lecture was free but it was used as a pitch by the University that hosted it to attract new customers. The speaker was somewhat respectable fellow who happened to hail from India and spoke eloquently.   One of the key message was around how the professors in this university were ranked among the very best money can buy. Cost of the MBA program mere $110,000 and oh we also buy some dinner if you have late class.  So now the math is simple-  is learning to be entrepreneurial worth the cost of entry? That is assuming you end up being one.   What of those that do not?  or the ones that are not successful at being the entrepreneur?  Is that being a pessimist before even being handed the glass. What I found strange is that people will bet big money on the glimmer of hope that they might just make a entrepreneurial debut and hit it big.  The unive...
